Command Qualifiers

/NEGATE

This is only valid in OBLIQUE view and causes the system to negate all the y values when drawing. This gives the visual appearance of seeing the ship from the inside.

/REDISPLAY

The current contents of the screen are redrawn in the new view. This can be set permanently by using the DEFINE REDISPLAY command.

WINDOW

When rotating an oblique view by dragging the cursor, this option causes the current window dimensions to be retained rather than resetting to full size.

/REFLECTION

A reflected view is set up so that both sides of a symmetrical ship may be drawn. Any curves displayed in this view will be reflected and drawn.

/TITLE= $W

A title that should be drawn below the window box. If a title is not specified then a system default name is used. This is only valid in PLOT mode.

/BOW

The section view will be oriented from the bow. If this qualifier is not given, the section view will be oriented from the stern.

/DECK

The waterline view will be oriented from the deck. If this qualifier is not given, the waterline view will be oriented from the keel.
